An Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to Matthew

An Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to Matthew

Alfred Plummer
3/5 ( ratings)
Excerpt from An Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to S. Matthew

The attempt to write this commentary has been made under impulses given, in the one case consciously, in the other not, by two friends. For some years, Bishop Lloyd of Newcastle-on-Tyne, whose loss we are still deeply lamenting, had been urging the writer to do something of the kind; and one of the latest letters received from him, - a letter written shortly before his death, expressed delight that this volume was progressing. And it was the writer's privilege to take a very small part in the production of the invaluable work on this Gospel by the Rev. W. C. Allen in the International Critical Commentary published by Messrs. T. & T. Clark. To share in that work was to be inspired to continue it.

This volume, therefore, has two aims over and above the desire to do something in accordance with Bishop Lloyd's earnest wishes. On the one hand, this sequel to Mr. Allen's commentary has for its object to call the attention of some who do not already know it to a book which Leaflet 31 of the Central Society of Sacred Study pronounces to be "the best English commentary on the first Gospel" , and of which reviewers have said much the same. On the other hand, this volume aims at supplementing the earlier one. A re viewer in the Guardian doubted whether Mr. Allen "was well advised to restrict himself so rigidly to questions of literary, as distinct from historical - not to say theological and religious - interest."
